-**NASA Openscapes Mentors have created “go-to” resources for staff and users using NASA Earthdata – such as the `earthaccess` python library and tutorials in the Earthdata Cloud Cookbook.** Over the last four years, Mentors have developed these resources as a supportive community in response to teaching hundreds of NASA Earthdata users via workshops and events together, where they identify and rapidly respond to common needs then iterate through active use, documentation, and further teaching.

 Openscapes is a mechanism that can rapidly identify problems and bring people together to solve them. The NASA Openscapes Mentor community includes people across NASA Earth science data centers (DAACs) that work together to deliver work aligned with DAAC goals to enable science, enriched by collaborating with the open science community beyond NASA.

 ### 4. User support - including workshops and Champions Cohort
 
 Supporting users in the Cloud requires infrastructure and skills. Skills include mindset shifts, as well as new technical and collaboration skills. Infrastructure requires co-developing software and resources as well as providing a JupyterHub compute space for developing tutorials and teaching workshops, which we do in partnership with [2i2c](https://2i2c.org/). The goal is to "make once, use often", reusing materials and iterating and improving upon them as a distributed group of mentors who learn with, from, and for each other.
 
-We lead well-planned, welcoming, user-designed teaching events in a variety of formats including in-person and online (hackathons, workshops, Champions Cohorts, Community Calls, conference sessions). To prepare for these events, we develop open documentation, slides, and tutorials that are available for reuse and remix; we host a JupyterHub compute space in partnership with 2i2c; we co-develop technical cloud technical infrastructure including scientific software docker images, user access administration, cost reports/tracking, and documentation of user stories. We develop together asynchronously and synchronously via hackdays and coworking.
